Oh man what a day!!

[bambino]

Today has been a nightmare :crying: and there's still tonight to go.

DS has done nothing by cry, scream and sook ALL day. I just don't know what's wrong and I'm about to explode myself. I've cried with him most of the day too.

He's been at the Dr's cause lately he's been waking from his sleep every hour screaming in pain of some sorts. Dr just prescribed panadol and infant demazin. That was last Tuesday. And he's still the same a week later. So back to the Dr tomorrow.
I feel there is something seriously wrong with him.

I feel guilty at night too cause DH is trying to sleep as he has to go to work in the morning, and with DS crying all night, I know it peeves him as he has a low tolerance for bubs crying.

But I don't know what else I can do. I'm going insane as I can't help DS as much as I'd like to.
My sinuses are shot as it is and all this crying I'm doing to doesn't help much either.

:crying:

Hi bambino

Sorry to hear you and your bub have had a bad day...it isn't easy!! :no:

Maybe try laying down together - that way you and he can get some rest!!!

It could be his teeth maybe??!!

Could someone come over and watch bub while you have a sleep or go for a walk so u can have some time out yourself...

Have u tried taking him for a walk in the pram...it may settle him.

It is hard when you don't know what's wrong and nothing seems to work, just know that it is normal, and we all go through it...and also remember he is crying for a reason, it isn't his fault...just wish they could talk hey!!?? hehe.

Hope things get better

Well we were back at the Dr today as there has been no improvement with bubs.
I told the Dr I didn't want to continue doping him up on panadol and demazin and that I want him to re-assess his situation.
When we went last week it was with a different Dr and I was unhappy with him, so luckily today we got into see our normal Dr and he nearly freaked at the other Dr prescribing all that without a proper assessment of his symptoms.
I had written down everything that DS did that was totally out of character (crying, screaming, gruntin, groaning, vomiting, arching back....you get the idea)

So finally the verdict is in......my poor DS has reflux :crying: so Zantac it is.

I gave him his first dose when we got home and the poor little thing looked so relieved. It seemed to be instant comfort.
So with a nice big helping of booby and a few cuddles, DS nodded off to sleep a very happy little man.
